World recovered paper markets were thrown into chaos in the second half of 2017 due to China’s announcements on restricting imports into their country. This workshop will both cover what the current status of those restrictions, how they came about, the implications on US recycling collection programs, and the effect on global recovered paper markets.

Primary coverage of the workshop will be on the grades most affected: OCC, Mixed Paper, and Sorted Residential Paper and News (SRPN – the old #8 ONP grade).

A separate registration fee of $67 is required for this workshop. Space is Limited.
